Bright Sword: Develop alone, bring back an artillery regiment

The results of the Second Independent Regiment and other departments were completely within the expectations of the brigade commander.

After listening, he asked again: "Where's Naoto Hattori?"

The staff officer on duty responded: "Because it was night at that time, Naochen Hattori ran away in the chaos."

Brigadier: "What a pity."

The chief of staff next to him smiled and said: "It is already very good to have wiped out more than 2700 Japanese troops and seized so many weapons and equipment. Not only has the strength of the Japanese army in the southeast of Shanxi been greatly weakened, but it has also strengthened the strength of our army to a certain extent. In the long run, it should be very beneficial to our next combat plan."

After a pause, the chief of staff changed his voice, and continued: "But, will Wang Chengzhu and his group startle the snake by doing this?"

There was a confident smile on the brigade commander's face: "No, if this little movement scares the snake, then the little devil is too careless to be scared."

"Ah."

The chief of staff nodded, and said, "By the way, brigade commander, this time Wang Chengzhu and the others seized so many weapons and equipment, would you like to congratulate them again?"

Brigade Commander: "The foundation of my 386 brigade is not here, and there is no plan to recruit recruits at the moment. I will not congratulate them this time."

……

Time flies, and more than a month has passed in a blink of an eye.

In early May 1940, the Battle of Zaoyi kicked off.

Shinozuka Yoshio's plan to wipe out the Eighth Route Army in one fell swoop had to be postponed with the start of the Southern War.

The heads of the Eighth Route Army headquarters were waiting for this opportunity. They immediately held an emergency military meeting and decided to use all the 129th Division, 120th Division, and 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army in the Jinchaji area. The railway, the Ping-Han Railway, the surrounding roads and the strongholds of the Japanese army launched sabotage operations.

More than 20 troops participated in the battle, with a total of 105 regiments, known as the Hundred Regiments War in history.

The task of the 129th Division is to attack the Zhengtai Railway, Zhengtai Highway, and the Japanese and puppet strongholds along the line.

After deliberation, the 129th Division basically adopted the combat plan proposed by Wang Chengzhu, but made some minor changes on this basis.

……

In the new regiment headquarters.

Political commissar Zhao Gang hurried in from the outside: "Old Li, good news!"

Li Yunlong wondered, "What good news?"

Zhao Gang: "The Japanese army on the Central China battlefield has launched an attack on the Zaoyi area, so the defenders at the headquarters decided to launch an attack immediately. Before this, the headquarters has conducted a thorough investigation of each division, and it is said that more than 100 regiments will participate in the battle.

So the headquarters even thought of the name of the battle, and it was called the Hundred Regiments War! "

"Hundred regiments battle? Well, I like this battle!" Li Yunlong has never been afraid of big troubles. Hearing this, he immediately asked excitedly: "Where is our regiment fighting? Is it Niangziguan? "

"Yes!"

Zhao Gang nodded, and then said: "However, in order to be safe, it is not only my Xinyi regiment who attacked Niangziguan this time, but also the Xiner regiment."

When he heard the first two words, Li Yunlong grinned happily to his ears, but when he finished listening to Zhao Gang's words, his face immediately became gloomy.

Pointing at Zhao Gang's nose, he yelled: "Old Zhao, how do you think you would do this? It's obviously the meat in our new group's mouth, but you gave a big piece of it! It's not that our old Li looked down on him Kong Er is a fool, what use is his thousand broken guns? What right does he have to eat meat with our new ball?"

Zhao Gang explained: "The higher-ups must have their own considerations. Isn't it because they are afraid of accidents? How bad is it for the soldiers to hear you complaining so much?"

Li Yunlong: "Don't sell me dog-skin plasters, as Kong Er is the head of the dough-making group, what right does he have to share the meat with our new group?"

"Why don't you fight with the brigade commander? If I go, he, Kong Er, will dare to grab meat from me and turn against him!"

"If you want me to say, the soldiers will be raging one, the raging rascals will be in a litter, and the meat in our new group's mouth will be taken away, it's your fucking political commissar who is too bearable in front of the superior!"

"What are you afraid of, you, why don't you dare to fight with the brigade commander?"

Zhao Gang is not cowardly, nor does he intend to spoil Li Yunlong any longer, so Dang even retorted: "Li Yunlong, it's fine if I don't have the same knowledge as you, and it will get worse and worse. Let me tell you, I, Zhao Gang, came to fight against Japan and save the country, didn't I? Come to be angry, if you are angry, find a place where there is no one and hit your head against the wall!"

"Ring ring ring, ring ring ring..."

At this moment, the phone rang, and just as Li Yunlong picked it up, a familiar voice came from the other side.

"Li Yunlong!"

Li Yunlong: "Brigade Commander!"

As soon as Zhao Gang heard this, he immediately stood up from the stool next to him and stood upright.

Brigadier: "You must be cursing again, aren't you?"

Li Yunlong turned his head and glared at Zhao Gang: "Who the hell is calling me a small report?"

The brigade commander scolded: "You don't wrong people, I guessed it, it seems that I really guessed it right!"

"Listen to me honestly, Niangziguan has the new first regiment and the new second regiment to attack together, this is the division's decision.

If you are not convinced, I can change someone!

Ding Wei and Cheng Xiazi are all staring at this piece of fat! "

When Li Yunlong heard this, he immediately faltered: "Don't, Brigadier Commander, I didn't say no. Let the two regiments attack together, let the two regiments attack together."

The brigade commander nodded in satisfaction: "Listen to me, if you can't fight it by then..."

Before the Brigadier could finish speaking, Li Yunlong answered, "Don't worry, Brigadier, we promise to complete the task. If you can't beat Niangziguan, you can wring my head off and use it as a chamber pot!"

"Humph!"

The brigade commander snorted coldly, then hung up the phone.

At this time, Zhao Gang next to him sarcastically said: "Li Yunlong, what are you afraid of? Why don't you dare to fight with the brigade commander?"

Faced with Zhao Gang's sarcasm, Li Yunlong didn't care, and said with a smile: "With Kong Er's manpower, even if he participated in the mission to attack Niangziguan Railway Station, he can only help me!"

……

At the same time, at the headquarters of the Second Independent Regiment.

After Wang Chengzhu returned from the brigade headquarters, he immediately held an emergency military meeting.

In the war room of the regiment headquarters, Zhao Hongyuan, the battalion commander of the supplementary battalion, was outside Wangjia Village in Northwest Shanxi, and all the battalion commanders of the other battalions were there.

Wang Chengzhu glanced over, and everyone involuntarily raised their chests and retracted their stomachs.

After a while, Wang Chengzhu withdrew his gaze and said, "I believe you must be curious, why am I calling you all over in such a hurry?"

Before everyone could speak, Wang Chengzhu asked himself and answered: "That's right! The headquarters has decided to launch a general offensive, and the time is set at midnight the day after tomorrow, which is 12 o'clock tomorrow night."

"All the more than 30 main regiments participating in the attack on the Zhengtai Railway have only one day and night to covertly engage the enemy."

“我们386旅、新1旅、新4旅，负责拔出正太铁路以北的50几个据点。385旅、新7旅，新8旅，负责拔出正太铁路以南的50几个据点。”
